SHANGHAI

Shanghai is at once ancient, arcane and mind-bendingly modern. We wandered contentedly for days in its mesmerizing grid, gradually finding our place amid the symphony of honking horns, hawkers and the snap of sea air tinged with the fragrance of every type of meat-on-a-stick known to man. We came, we saw, but we will never fully conquer this vast, intriguing city. We heart Shanghai.
